I use multiple folders to save my User Programs or UPS. Some examples are folders titled "slow", "Fast", "Elevator Music", etc etc. Each folder has as many as 80+ UPS files so I have not hit any file limit that may exist. This method helps me organize my UPSs for easy call up when performing. I also have UPS folders for duplicate UPSs for performing several songs one right after the other. Using the "User Program" buttons (1-10) just above my right hand makes it a quick and easy method to start the next song in the folder - or jump around in the displayed folder.

I also have folders setup with midi files (or songs) and these folders have well over 100 midi files - so I am not sure what the file limit may be for folders.

I use the Make-up tool extensively to modify and enhance MIDI files as well as onboard styles. It is really easy to use - another great feature.

What will now be the best way to create a combined audio result from the two keyboards. I would still like to edit in the midi format, if possible, prior to audio output (as opposed to combining two audio streams).

Also, which keyboard would best handle the task: EA-7 or BK-5?

Also, do I understand correctly that the BK-5 will read and play the VK7 styles. I have quite a few ballroom dancing styles collected over the years. Or, maybe what the EA-7 or BK-5 has to offer far surpasses my modest collection of, say, 30 styles spread over the following genres: waltz, quickstep, cha-cha, rumba, foxtrot, tango, samba, etc.

Many thanks in advance!!!]]>Music relatedWed, 13 Feb 2019 00:59:35 +0100Scale tune off in playback recorded songs on the G70 - by: Smithhttp://roland-arranger.com/index.php/music-related/4729-scale-tune-off-in-playback-recorded-songs-on-the-g70#5538

I create sound tracks for ballroom dancing, by firstly recording the ‘skeleton’ tracks (rhythm, bass and accompaniment) on midi in the VA7, then progressively add melody, counter melody and other embellishments, all within the keyboard. This then is recorded on my computer.

I can’t see any comparable feature on Roland’s latest models.

Do I now need to purchase additional software and create a midi file using the computer instead of the VA7.

I would be most grateful for any chat members to offer suggestions – both on the model keyboard to purchase and any software, if that is required. I use the Microsoft Surface computer.

P.S. This is my first post. Many thanks for the comprehensive and informative site.]]>Music relatedMon, 11 Feb 2019 06:45:31 +0100Sending MSB and LSB from G70? - by: Franhttp://roland-arranger.com/index.php/music-related/4727-sending-msb-and-lsb-from-g70#5532

Does anyone know the best solution.. The MSB is 89, and the LSB is64.
I have looked into micro edit but it does not allow me to change the value... unless I am missing something..
I sold my Code61 controller I used for the Integra7 (worked like a charm)..

This should be a simple program change from the G70.. Maybe I didn't turn on the data send?
Any help will be appreciated..

I prefer to send the program change from realtime keyboard parts. But if I need to do this from Style mode, so be it..

I thought I recall the MSB/LSB send with an execute tab on a window in the G70..]]>Music relatedMon, 11 Feb 2019 02:21:33 +0100BK7m (or other BK) Sonar INS file for styles - by: BJGeehttp://roland-arranger.com/index.php/music-related/4725-bk7m-or-other-bk-sonar-ins-file-for-styles#5507

Does anyone have a BK7m (or indeed any other BK series) sonar INS file for styles (not sounds) - if such a thing exists.
